The name appears truncated, but the 'ethyl … methyl' ester pattern typically reads as a light, fruity-green aromachemical — sharp on first sniff with an apple/pear or unripe-fruit facet, fading quickly to a faint solvent-like ester tone. Without the full name this profile is a general-ester guess rather than a specific identification.AI · claude-opus-4-7
